Set
27
Managed devices run software called ________________? robots switches drones agents

If you want to know how hard your network is working, us a ________________? management information base flow cache performance manager interface monitor
interface monitor
30
A ___________ is a centralized location for technicians and administrators, used to manage all aspects of the Network?
Network Operations Center (NOC)
31
On an SNMP managed network, a _________________ program could create graphs and diagrams that display any set of the data received?
graphing
32
SNMP adds security using _______________?
Transport Layer Security (TLS)
33
In packet flow monitrong, a single __________________ is a sequence of packets from one specific place to another?
flow
34
With interface monitoring, ___________________ references how much of the port's total bandwidth is being used?
utilization
35
______________________ track the bandwidth and utilization of one or more interfaces on one or more devices?
Interface Monitor
36
The most common macOS and Linux Performance Monitor tool is called ___________________?
Syslog
37
A ____________________ tracks the performance of some aspect of a system over time and lets you know when things aren't normal?
Performance Monitor
38
__________________________ are the computers within a Network that are receiving the most data?
Top Listeners
39
SNMP uses _______________________ to categorize the data that can be queried (and subsequently analyzed)?
Management Information Bases (MIB)
40
The ____________________ is the defacto network management protocol for TCP/IP Networks?
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
41
The _________________ utility can quickly query any SNMP device directly from a computer's terminal?
snmpwalk
42
The common term for each of the SNMP System core functions is ________________?
Protocol Data Unit (PDU)
43
Describe the ports SNMP uses for unsecure and secure communications?
SNMP Managers use UDP Ports 162 or 10162 with Transport Layer Security (TLS). SNMP Agents use Ports 161 or 10161 with Transport Layer Security (TLS).
44
List the four major types of monitoring tools?
Packet (Sniffers) Protocol (Analyzers) (Interface) Monitors (Performance) Monitors
45
Describe a baseline and explain how a baseline can point to problems on a Server or the Network?
A Baseline is a log of normal operational performance to give you a picture of your network and servers when they are working correctly. A major change in these values can point to problems on a server or network as a whole.
46
How should an administrator enable NetFlow in order to use it?
NetFlow is Enabled on the Device, if the device doesn't support NetFlow, you can use stand-alone probes that can monitor maintenance ports on the unsupported device and send the information to the NetFlow collector.
47
Identify three components in a Managed Network?
Managed (Devices) SNMP (Manager) SNMP (Agent)
48
Describe the two most common performance monitor tools?
Windows Performance Monitor (perfmon.exe) | Syslog (found in macOS and Linux)
49
What are SNMP Alerts and how are they disseminated?
Alerts, Notifications - they are sent directly to techs - via SMS text messaging and email alerts - when their intervention is required.
50
Describe the key component that enables performance monitors to track performance over time?
Logs - They store information about the performance of some particular aspect of a system.
51
Briefly list the versions of SNMP?
SNMPv1 SNMPv2 SNMPv3
52
Explain the purpose of applications like Cacti?
They enable you to see very quickly essential facts about your Network Hardware.
53
Briefly describe a packet sniffer?
It's a program that queries a Network interface and collects packets in a file called a capture file. Might sit on a single computer or perhaps on a Router or a dedicated piece of hardware.
54
Explain why access to active logs must be carefully controlled and explain how this can be accomplished?
Because logs often contain private or sensitive data.
55
Identify additional terms for utilities that analyze packets?
Packet (Sniffer) (Packet) Aalyzer (Protocol) Analyzer (Network) Analyzer
